he has been healthy

@@ingramofbrandon Mentally healthy might be better wording

@@ingramofbrandon No he hasn't been, both mentally and physically. He will never be as good as he was, such a pity as he is only 27 years old.....

@@billnadj8277 he was never that good.

@@peterzin8979 yes he was get that hating shit outta here you couldn't do any of what he did

lol.

Nah you definitely have to be able to shoot. You don’t have to shoot all the time but when your time comes you have to be able to shoot and that was his problem. Couldn’t knock down free throws when they counted and that messed him up mentally. Got to have a jumper if you play in the nba and if you don’t at least work on it during l the offseason. He never did

@@mj23926not only if you could dominate the paint and when they want to double you kick to your shooter

@@jeremy2394In 2010 sure, back to the basket playmaking doesn’t really work in 2024 if your opponent knows you’re never gonna shoot

​@@mj23926​ I disagree about the whole shooting part and I'm a 6ers fan. Ben woulda been fine had he been able to at the bare minimum knock down a good 80% from the stripe. And don't believe everything u hear cause ppl like to sell a false narrative that ben aint work on his shot but the truth is every single offseason a plethora of vids would drop of ben playing pickup in the gym and in every single video he's shooting. And the thing is his jumper wasn't even bad looking. It actually looks decent and smooth tbh. Not to mention he would shoot the middy in game from time to time but u could tell he didn't even have great confidence in that. For the psyche he possesses combined with his thin skin he was legit drafted to the worst possible team. Philly fans are brutal. And I don't say that as a flex or to try and look cool cause tbh I'm not wired the same as most philly fans. I'm from Baltimore and still reside here. But philly fans broke him down in a way that I'm not sure he'll ever recover from. And it's sad. I hate to put it all on the fans tho cause we're the ones shelling out hard earned money that he's a beneficiary of and we shouldn't have to coddle him because he's to brittle on a emotional and psychological level. Ive said since the day he was drafted Ben was not only one of the best young talents I've ever seen but he's one of the best the leauges ever seen. All that man had to do at bare minimum was have the ability to knock down some free throws. But if he were 2 tap into his full potential and developed that jumper it was game over. We coulda been looking at not one of but thee 🐐. Sadly that's not the way that fairytale panned out and we as a fan base let him down. And what's worse is it just wasn't our fault as fans but also the doing of his teammates and coach.

"thank god a video that only affirms my bias towards a certain player"

@@xaevius5319 when you see practically everyone else dunking on simmons it is refreshing to see something different, whether you're biased towards simmons or not. always good to look on the bright side imo

Yeah he’s definitely lost a step. Imo it’s more noticeable on D than offence and probably accounts for a lot of his extra fouls (+ obviously the season out of the game)

It’s unfortunate. Same thing happened with Dwight Howard. He was never the same.

for real. herniated disc never goes away and any surgery is super invasive

Agreed.

He ruined his career with his lack of work ethic.

You know, that reminds me. Reports are saying that he is fully healthy now and is expected to be in his prime form next season.

I'm a 6ers fan as well. I will admit I'm one of the ones that wasn't all but castrating him via social media tho. Although I do understand why the ones that chose to did. Everything surrounding that whole ordeal with the 6ers and ben is truly sad bro. The man had so much fkn potential. But was also about as thin skinned as one can possibly be. Makes me sick to my stomach cause I know had he received proper coaching and was actually developed to maximize his full potential we very well coulda been watching not just one of but the very BEST to ever play the game and inna 6ers jersey at that 😤😖😞

Fr he is litterally a therapist away from being the next lebron

U need to listen to these podcast of nba players who use to or is currently playing with Ben Simmons and they all say he was actually hurt.

@@cannonbutts293 sure but it’s not the main reason for his downfall

​@@Yungteasipppppawhat is your insight?

@@karimw.9954 if he had the confidence to train and believe that he can improve then with his athleticism he would be a threat

He could’ve been

Yea I’m sure the back injury had nothing to do with it

Y’all keep digging videos and photos of ben just to comment useless comments like roty c’mon grow up

Facts tho too many excuses

Dude had a back surgery
